Gulab Jamun | Lengcha | How to Make Gulab Jamun

These are my dad’s hands. The hands that raised me.., taught me how to write and I haven’t stopped writing since then. My dad! My hero. I have yet to meet another sharp, suave and intellectually inclined man. There is a not a single moment of boredom with him. We can spend hours walking and talking about everything – From books to Health to Travel to History. He has the biggest influence on me. Want to dedicate this post to him. Happy Father’s Day, Dad..today and every day.

I shot these pictures when he was visiting me last Dec. Made Gulab Jamun and served that with some chilled honey yogurt.

You can call them Gulab Jamun, or Lengcha or Pantua or, you can safely call them mini donut holes soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup. These dreamy balls of deliciousness are my utmost weakness. I can close my eyes and imagine getting lost in these gulab jamuns. Have you ever wondered, why they are called Gulab Jamuns though? That’s because Because they are made up of powdered milk and oil deep fried and are soaked in rose water and saffron flavored hot sugar syrup. Here ‘Gulab‘ means ‘Rose‘ and Jamun indicates the shape of a flower named as Jamun.

There are different ways of making this extremely popular Indian dessert but in my recipe, I have used powdered milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder and clarified butter or ghee.

Living. For. This post!!! I loooove getting gulab jamun when we order Indian food, but I had the idea that they were very complicated to make. I actually have all of these ingredients in my pantry already, so I’m going to have give these a try!
